    Paradise Meadows

    Enjoy comfort, luxury, and great hospitality in a small space

    The Tiny House is one of several rental options on this property. (Others include a huge glamping tent and a farmhouse). This review focuses on the tiny house where we stayed for two nights but I have included a few photos of the glamping tent, which was not open when we were there (opens in April). 

    A lot is packed into a small space with so many creative touches. There is a full-size loft bed and a pull-out couch so while you could sleep four people, it would be a bit crowded inside. There is also a screened-in porch with two swing seats, and a table so you could eat outside. 

    Lyn (the owner)’s hospitality is second to none. The tiny house is stocked with a microwave, toaster oven, electric kettle, Keurig, and an induction burner plus dishes, flatware, and just about everything else you would expect in a fully stocked kitchen. There is also a table grill that can be set up on the table on the screened porch. There is a great selection of tea and hot chocolate plus pancake mix, and syrup. 

    There is a full bath with a flush toilet, sink, and shower with fluffy towels. 

    There is a fire pit available to use. 

    This would make a wonderful couples retreat, a mother-daughter getaway, or a place for solo reflection. Chattanooga is located just 25 minutes away and there is a fully stocked gourmet grocery store just down the road.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Go to the website for more information on this and other options at this property.

    River Rocks Landing

    Really great place!

    So many things are fantastic about this place. It’s close to the interstate (easy to get to), is mostly surrounded with water (and there are big swings to sit and enjoy the water views), has 3 clean pools (one an infinity pool) and an amazing splash pad, has a laundry, hosts are super friendly and upbeat, it’s clean, showers and restrooms are air conditioned, well lit and clean, well behaved pets are allowed. It would be especially fantastic for folks that are traveling with small children (up to young teens) or with no children. The only thing that we wished for were bigger sites. The sites around the water are very large and beautiful, so I’m referring to the interior ones. Ours would have been narrow for a pop up (all other RVs there were conventional hard sided self contained ones), except that the host put us in one with another empty one next to it (see how thoughtful and accommodating they are!) The gate is locked after 8pm, but you can get a key for a deposit of $10, which you get back when you leave. This means it is pretty secure at night. Lots of folks come and stay for several days, and return year after year, but ours was just an overnight, on our way home from the beach. We have a very good impression of this place.

    Cloudland Canyon State Park Campground

    Those views tho

    Incredible views at a great state park! Stayed three nights over Easter Weekend in the East Rim. The East Rim is located on the main park road and about 5 minutes walk from the Trail Heads. Your camper is on display for all the day trippers but TOTALLY WORTH IT for the majestic views! Your afternoon stroll includes 2 waterfalls, multiple overlooks, woodlands, and gorgeous canyons. We drove over to the West Rim and it was much more woodsy and secluded, but we were there for the walking so did not mind the activity and open sites of the East Rim.

    Bathhouse was tidy, stocked, and heated. Could use a deep cleaning, but nothing that was unsanitary. Super hot showers! Washing machine had been removed but did have a sink to hand-wash and a dryer. Each bathhouse in the West Rim was supposed to have laundry as well so could drive over if necessary.

    Our site did have plastic and debris scattered around including inside the fire pit, so we left it cleaner than we found it.

    Loved the fact that they had aluminum recycling!

    The surroundings absolutely deserve 5 stars, just docking one for the trash left at the site. Will be back to tackle more of the trails!

    Cloudland Canyon State Park Campground

    Backcountry Camping That's Nicely Balanced

    One of my favorite campgrounds in Georgia is at Cloudland Canyon State Park. A small hike from the parking area, there's plenty of space in these woods for a quaint and quiet stay. Our backcountry campground had a fire pit and even a picnic table, and was nestled beside a babbling brook. We set up our tents, hung our hammocks and got cooking as soon as we arrived. The next morning, the sun's early rays could be seen from our tent opening, making for an epic start to the day. There are outhouses nearby and the visitor's center is only a few minutes' drive away if anyone in your camping party desires running water. A great balance! All the hikes around Cloudland are winners, and you can easily spend the weekend there.

    Cloudland Canyon State Park Campground

    Clean, well-maintained, phenomenal scenery

    Some sites are a bit close together, others are more private. We were on 29. A bit close to neighbor. Separate fire pit area with separate grill was a nice feature. Very nice to have electric and water on site. So many hiking trails. Very well maintained and marked but lots of stairs. Trail maps however not the best. Cherokee Falls is beautiful.

    Lookout Mountain-Chattanooga West KOA

    Nice but not welcoming

    This is a nice spot with decent sites. It has a large although dated pool with minimal seating and no shade, there is a pavilion with shade on the other side of the pool fence. The dog park is large but all gravel with no grass or dirt. There is a jump pillow which the kids enjoyed. The real downfall to this KOA is the not welcoming and unfriendly staff. The check in process felt aggressive and any encounter with staff that I was involved in or witnessed was not very friendly at all.

    Beautiful campsite!

    Clean, and well maintained. Tent camping along the edge of the river. Fire pits or grills, picnic tables, clean bathroom, and hot showers. If you are a light sleeper, the traffic noise from the highway might be disturbing. Good fishing. It was a nice overnighter on our way North.

    Tennessee Wall Camp

    Beautiful sites, close quarters with other campers

    We really enjoyed our night tent camping here. There is a parking lot right off the road after a fun ~30 minute drive through residential roads right on the water, then sites with fire pits are scattered throughout a small clearing. Plety of firewood to collect on site. There was another group of campers at a spot fairly close to us making some noise, but not too late into the night. With respectful campers nearby, this is a great spot to spend a relaxing night.

    Cloudland Canyon State Park Campground

    One of my Favs!

    Such a great little campground! The sites are spaced out enough that you can kinda see other sites, but you're not all on top of each other. Most sites are a reasonable distance from the bathroom and parking lot. Sites further from both are more private. The trail to the sites also connects to several other trails in the park, so you can hike straight from your campsite to the falls. Pets are allowed, picnic tables and fire pits provided. Sloped sites have a level tent pad as well. would highly recommend!!


Guide to Alpine

Yurt camping near Alpine, Alabama provides access to some of Georgia and Alabama's most significant geological formations. Located in the southernmost reaches of the Appalachian Mountains, the region features elevations ranging from 600 to 1,800 feet. Summer temperatures typically range from 75-95°F with high humidity, while winter temperatures can drop to 25-45°F with occasional snow at higher elevations.

What to do

Waterfall exploration: The region's waterfalls vary significantly with seasonal rainfall. "The waterfalls were weak but we knew this going in July but still great views. Our next trip here will be in the fall," notes a camper at Cloudland Canyon State Park.

Cave tours: Cloudland Canyon offers guided underground adventures. "The Cave tour is a must, but prepare to get dirty," explains a visitor who rated the park highly.

Fishing opportunities: Lake Guntersville provides excellent angling. A camper at Honeycomb Campground mentioned, "Shoreline fishing at most sites if that's an interest," making it convenient for anglers who want to fish directly from their sites.

Disc golf: Marion County Park features multiple recreational options beyond typical hiking. "Swimming, soccer, baseball, boating, disc golf, para course all right here," according to one reviewer who appreciated the variety of activities.

What campers like

Private backcountry sites: Cloudland Canyon's walk-in areas provide secluded experiences. "One of my favorite campgrounds in Georgia is at Cloudland Canyon State Park. A small hike from the parking area, there's plenty of space in these woods for a quaint and quiet stay," writes one camper who enjoyed the balance between amenities and wilderness.

Spacious waterfront campsites: Marion County Park offers generous riverfront camping. "We had a large site. Picnic table and fire ring. Easy access to water from site and had two boat launches," reports a visitor who enjoyed the water access.

Different camping loops for different preferences: The West Rim camping at Cloudland Canyon offers more privacy. "The West Rim camping loop has a total of 48 tent/RV sites with 30 or 50A hookups, water, gravel tent pads, picnic tables, and fire rings. This loop is far more wooded and offers a greater variety of site size and privacy."

Family-friendly amenities: Lookout Mountain-Chattanooga West KOA features recreational options for children. "The coolest aspect of this campground for me was the massive jumping pad they have," shares a visitor impressed by the amenities for younger campers.

What you should know

Tent-only areas: Some campgrounds offer dedicated tent sections. "Love the tent-only serenity of the walk-in sites. There is a separate parking lot at the back of the park for the walk-in sites, which are a short distance away (easy to haul your gear)," explains a Cloudland Canyon camper.

Weather impacts: Recent storms can affect campground conditions. "We got in the spot pretty easily and woke up to the most gorgeous view over the water! Gravel roads and pads (thankfully, as everything around was standing in water from the recent downpour)," notes a visitor to Wills Creek RV Park.

Varying levels of privacy: Site selection matters for privacy. "The sites have a tent pad, picnic table and fire ring, and lots of privacy as the sites are very far from each other," reports a camper who appreciated the spacious layout at Cloudland Canyon's walk-in area.

Seasonal considerations: Water features change throughout the year. "Weekend Hike. Great State Park. Quick getaway for some hiking fun... Waterfalls were weak but we knew this going in July but still great views," notes a summer visitor to Cloudland Canyon.

Consider yurt options for family comfort: Skyland Ridge Yurt Vacation Rental provides comfortable glamping.

Choose campgrounds with helpful staff: Wills Creek RV Park offers friendly service. "The man who runs this place is amazing! He was so helpful and kind and made us feel like we were family!" which can make a significant difference when camping with children.

Tips from RVers

Check site width for slides and awnings: Sites at some parks may have tight clearances. "All the sites are heavily wooded and most have trees or large rocks very close on both sides of the driveway. We weren't able to extend our awning all the way because of the trees. If you have slides, you may not be able to put them out," cautions a camper at John's Mountain WMA.

Consider hookup availability: Not all sites offer full services. "If you have an RV and want sewer hookups, they have a limited number of sites available, so plan accordingly," advises a visitor to Coosa River County Park.

Reserve early for premium sites: Waterfront locations book quickly. "Book in advance, water sites are hard to come by in the summer!" warns a Honeycomb Campground visitor about the popular lakefront spots.

Be aware of campground layouts: Some campgrounds have distinctly different sections. "The driveways are not straight, so you have to jog to one side halfway through backing in. It's tricky to make that slight turn while avoiding the trees and rocks," explains an RVer describing the challenges at John's Mountain.
